[billysnoid]

Wow! Who could forget those concerts! Each one was a Woodstock in it's own. I remember my first one seeing Crosby Stills Nash & Young and seeing greats such as Yes,Peter Frampton, Aerosmith, and seeing The Rolling stones on Their Black & Blue tour on a stormy day. 70's Man! Remember The weekend salute? Get Down!

[mrtongue57]

the Stones Black and Blue LP came out in 1976, in 1978 they toured for the Some Girls LP, I was also there in 1978 in the upper deck, i still remember seeing the green haze hovering above the infield.

[dsharpie]

AMEN brothers! Those were the days, and YES, I'm DEAD!!!!

It's GREAT

[HighDefDon62]

I was there for every World Series of Rock, Man those were the days, I seen every Cleveland band...Sackett Boys are still alive and well..

[pmeck61]

How about the dude that climbed the flag pole to the top and fell off, he was severely paralyzed for the rest of his life... I was there and so where the people I was with and no-one is dead yet... Negative, negative, negative... but that is Cleveland for ya negative people... We are now approaching 50 and we are all alive and well thank-you...

[thomesocksup]

My brother was at nickel beer night where the riot broke out. He has a photo from that which was taken by a reporter. Was up on a wall at Alice Cooper's old restaurant in Cleveland but now in his possession. He was in the photo which was a shot on the indians dugout.

[Billabromitis]

there was a guy who fell off the backstop behind home plate. His comment was in the PD saying he wanted to know how a foul ball felt. Must have been some potent microdot

[nrmnvl55]

Here's a thought a positive one. I was 17 all of 73 (December 14th, 1955) Over half of all those people are dead now. 50% of them from drugs. If you want to say those were the good old days than "let er rip"...Amen

"I use to be all messed up on drugs. Now I'm all messed up on the lord." Cheech and Chong 1973

[fnup48]

iwas there great bands

[thomesocksup]

OMG! I feel so old. I remember that. I remember shopping with my mom and wishing I was at the concert. WMMS rocked back then. Thank you my brother for getting me to listen to that station when I was little. Simply awesome. Cleveland Rocks!

[harpervalleypta69]

Murray Saul.

He was too cool.

[Billabromitis]

read the book on history of WMMS

[mtbreiner]

Those were the days my friend...we thought they'd never end.

They don't show the guy at the end of the concert who climbed between sections in the rafters and unscrewed the light bulbs...He crawled across the beams way high up from section to section and the crowd cheered him on. I wonder where he is today!!!

[dubasher]

probably dead. doesn't sound too smart.

[pschroeter56]

I went to four of these concerts. They still owe me the free t-shirt they were giving to attendees of the first one.

[kerrin28]

Oh God I miss those days...I'm probably in the audience - thanks for posting this. What a treasure..

[trickeryy]

HAHH my dad knew that guy :]

he always goes on about

"I KNOW THE OLD HOST OF THAT STATION.. *imitates voice*"

[ClevelandHost]

The man, the myth, the legend..........

[MrAnus]
